What I'm reading; what I'm working on; what musical ideas I am passionate about. It's a forum to share my thoughts on more than just music. It's about the sounds, the people, and the experiences that inspire me, every day, to do what I love. "Enriching people's lives with music."

9.12.2013

After reading this annual review and a list of music goals here, I was finally ready to start thinking about what I had done and experienced in 2012 and what I would like to accomplish in 2013. This post was planned to be part-one in a two part series that would reflect on 2012 and look forward to 2013. Life happened and I didn't get around to posting. I figure it's never too late to reflect and do some goal setting. So, let's start by looking back.

Here are some of the high lights from 2012:

January
-Started the Certification for United Methodist Musicians paperwork process after finishing my last class to complete the education requirements in December of 2011 at Saint Paul School of Theology

April
- I celebrated my 30th year!

May
-Put together a music resume CD. -Read "Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality" By Donald Miller-Certification paperwork was sent and
references collected. Background check was not completed due to lack of funds. First paycheck of 2013 should fix that up quite nicely.
